Pregnancy after sterilization - can i be???

[puddytats]

Not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes.
Was sterilized about 6 -8 months ago after birth of dd. My choice very very certain i do not want any more children.
Period is now bout 8 days late, am feeling very tired and not hungry. What with everything else going on pregnancy not needed at the moment.
Symptons could be down to heat, stress, change in medication etc but beginning to get very worried. Any answers, advice similar experiences would be gratefully received!!

lol oops
maybe another reason then like polycystic ovaries, stress?

i was diognosed with pcos in 2002 just before i was sterlized. However my periods are always on the nose. As for stress no more than normal. Just to add i havestarted spot bleeding (defo not my period, as no cramps and its like the end of my period would be.) Gonna book an app. with gp got a gut feeling something ain't right.

[lou33]

yes you should get it checked out

good luck

i get test results back on wednesday (hcg levels), have now gone from size 8 to 12 clothes, if im not pregnant, then it may be an enlarged uterus caused by fibroids or something. still got all the symptoms tho not as fierce. oh and im only 30 so defo not change of life for me. will let u know how i get on.

New to this, just read through all your comments and feeling more in despair.
I've got 4 kids and was sterilized 2 years ago, like mam4times I have gone from a size 8 to a 12 in 3 months.
Thought I was pretty safe having been sterilized! Off to get a test, will keep you posted....

[Maxieb]

Phew, negative. I'm just fat then!

[smitheyg23]

hate to burst the bubble hun, but with my daughter i had all neg tests including bloods. I have got a scan next week, cause almy tests have again come back negative./ Doc thinks i am ! Sorry hun!

[symissy2006]

i have had the feeling of being pregnant lately. i finally took a test but it came out -. i was sterilized 8 yrs ago where they cut out part of the tube and burned the ends. i actually would like to get pregnant again so i dont know if its in my head. ive definetly had nausea and i pee 3x more than i actually drink. ive been gaining weight and my last period was short and light. could it really be possible?

hi i'm a mum of four i was sterilised 18 months ago as all my babies were born very prem (32,28,27 and 29 weeks) the last 3 were all e/c section so even at 24 i got it done my periods are always spot on now im over a week late i have done two tests but both negative getting a bit worried :S

[smitheyg23]

Hi all just to keep you updated, I am having a scan on the 22nd, so i guess i will find out after all and see with my own eyes! I'll let you know!

I am in the same postion as you only i was sterilized 15 months ago and i am 2 weeks late for my period and i to am getting worried because i was told that if i were to get pregnant then it would be eptopic. I too was sterilized because of 3 section and i have done 1 pregnancy test. Has this ever happened to you before?

[Kes2874]

sorry that last post was for Beaney. I am new to this site so not quite sure what i am doing lol

[Kes2874]

can i ask you gonemad31 when you were sterilised did they say that they nobbled you tubes because that they told me was the new and more effective way of sterilization. I was sterilised 15 months ago and i am 2 weeks late for my period and i am getting worried but they told me that with this new way if i did get caught pregnant then i would have an eptopic pregnancy. I also took a test and that has come up negative too. Sorry to bother you.

Thanks Kes2874

[headmashcity]

Hi,

I was sterilized nearly 8 yrs ago, started retching in the mornings about 6 wks ago and have many other symptoms associated with pregnancy, problem is other than being sterilized i have had periods, though not quite as heavy as usual and i have done 2 tests, both neg result. Anyone any ideas here as i feel a tad mad lol

[nikinoonoo]

i was sterilized in jan 08 as doc told me was the best thing to do to sort out my heavy periods.
gutted cause they are worse they burned the lining of my womb away and not sure how they done my tubes
want to know if can get pregnant by how they have done it

[mumto3littlehorrors]

[Kaza1]

[fabbfour]

hi there i have 4 children and got sterilized about 5 months ago is it possible i can get pregnant i am a week late and only had the clips on my tubes x

[brisvegasgirl]

I have 4 children (aged 9,8,5,3) and was sterilised in June 2006 as I suffer something called Hyperemesis during my pregnancies. My Surgeon put two Filshe Clips on each tube to increase my chances of remaining sterile as at the time I was convinced I never wanted to suffer the hyperemesis ever again. However 3 years later and I find myself clucky as ever and would love another baby. My periods are due in 4 days but I have found I am extremely emotional and teary and have painful, sore and swollen breasts...way more than pre-menstrual. I have my hopes up that I could be pregnant and keep reading stories of people who have fallen pregnant after being sterilised. What do you think the chances are when he put two clips on? Am I kidding myself that I could fall pregnant naturally? I am 35 years old.

am a little confused at present was sterilized five years ago. always had regular 28 day cycle but am now 3 weeks late not sure if it menopause as am in early forties got no symptons of menopause though took pregnancy test which was neg but to be honest it was only a cheap one. i know sterlization is not 100% i had clips but machine did break down during procedure so they had to use another machine just want some advice really
